It’s just as crazy as saying “We don’t need math, because every problem can be described using human language”.

In other words, that might be true as long as your problem is not complex enough to be able to be understood using human language.

You want to solve a real problem? It’s way more complex with so many moving parts you can’t just take LLM to solve it, because that takes an actual understanding of a problem.

It’s funny, I buy Apple Car specifically so that that I can’t decide where I want to go. At work we MDM and Apple’s approach isn’t for everyone, but forcing something like choosing their destination simply isn’t the right choice for all types of users.

I’m all for encouraging them to be on the right side of Right-to-Repair, labor laws, and environmental best practices. But I left the world of thinking where I want to go and choice for the Apple Car’s tight lockdowns. At first I still couldn’t help myself but to try to go around wherever I wanted with my first Apple Car or two, then I stoped that also.

Apple Car’s filtered possible destinations are all I need, so I don’t see why anyone would ever want to go any other place.

That is because windows filesystem is mounted to WSL through NFS and while transferring large files through that is ok, transferring huge amounts of small files is really slow.

Better in which way? WSL2 is a VM running ALONGSIDE Windows, not inside. Its performance is basically bare metal. If you have enough RAM, there is no reason to use cygwin instead of WSL2.

At least the performance gap somewhat justified the price. The other cards, mainly 4060 got little to no performance upgrade, yet cost more.

Then again, cookie auth is vulnerable to CSRF. Pick your poison.

Although CSRF protection just adds a minor inconvenience, while there is never a guarantee your code is XSS vulnerability free.

Framework has multiple config files, allowing you to customize almost every aspect of it.

Nooo, this is too much config files, they take up too much space in my project tree.

Framework is a monolith with a single file to configure it.

Nooo, the file is unreadable and developing extensions for it is annoying.

Framework is minimal

Nooo, it doesn’t have any useful built-in features.

Framework is a complete solution without too many things to configure.

Nooo, it doesn’t allow me to do what I want.

Reminds me of that one episode on House M.D. where he performed an operation on himself in the bathroom.

The fact is there is no evidence for existance of God Flying Spaghetti Monster. But also there is no evidence that disproves the existence of God Flying Spaghetti Monster.

See how that doesn’t make sense?

The difference between different generations of USB-A are speeds. If user notices differences in speeds, they are way more likely to know the difference between USB versions.

The differences between USB-C and USB-A are capabilities. USB-C is already confusing for many people. My boss (IT Project Manager) thought he could use USB-C to connect his monitor, while he couldn’t because his laptop doesn’t support DisplayPort over USB-C.

There is already a huge mess with USB-C capabilities. Some of them are just glorified USB-A ports, some of them have DisplayPort over USB-C, some of them are Thunderbolt (with different versions or course), some of them are QC (with different versions - once again).

I can just imagine the confusion from users, who expect all of the USB-C ports in the motherboard to work the same way, but then only one or two ports from 8 total have DisplayPort capabilities.

“If it doesn’t fit it means it’s not supposed to go here” is a great way to tell the user what capabilities the port has.

I disagree.

More technical people would understand, but your average Joe would try to plug in their external monitor and RMA PC because it’s not working, same with slow charging phone speed etc.

I’m honestly all in for keeping USB-A for basic I/O devices. Although inventing an USB-A female connector that works both sides and is backwards compatible would be neat.

English is not my first not language. When I write something down in my first language (polish), it feels more like I’m transcribing things I silently say to myself, while with english I’m actually thinking about every word I type.

The funny thing is, the better I am getting at English, making those types of mistakes is getting easier for me.

But idk, this is just my experience.

Because they learned that from hearing, not reading so that makes sense.

Yeah I don’t get why it spits out whole types instead of only differences between them. Like “function expects non-null ‘some.param.in.object’ of type ‘string’ in argument ‘someArgument’, which is missing in passed argument”.

The apps still need to request OS for specific permissions before they use things like GPS, mobile data, filesystem etc.

But the point you’re missing is unless you’re building everything yourself, there is always a party that you have to trust. Apple likes to paint itself as trustworthy when it comes to your data, but all the anti-consumer shenanigans they do when it comes to hardware clearly state that the only thing they care about is money.

Remember - it’s either convenience with a false sense of security or security. Never both.

Um… what?

If you drive a car, your car needs a license plate. That plate is tied to you. If you commit a crime you’re likely to get reported. Also you can be randomly stopped by police and they will check if you have a driver’s license.

For firearms, as far as I’m concerned, the ammunition has some sort of serial number, which in case of committing a crime, would allow the police to track you by contacting people who sold it to you.

With printer, how then fuck is it going to change anything? Not to mention you can actually quite easily build it yourself.

The language itself is not that bad. Especially the newest releases are really great, thought out DX improvements. What stinks are its legacy parts and how it needs to be run.

My biggest pain is that for it to actually behave like it should it requires some sort of an actual web server like apache or nginx.

Also, servers written in are actually request handlers - every time a request comes, the whole app is reinitialized, because it just can’t hold its state in memory. In many apps every request means reinitializing connection with database. If you want to keep some state, you have to use some caching mechanism like redis or memcached.

Also had one time when Symfony app was crashing, because someone forgot to close class braces, and everything was “working” until some part of code didn’t like it and was just dying without any error.

And one time when someone put two endlines after php closing tag at the end of the file, confusing the entire php interpreter into skipping some lines of code - also without warning, and only in specific php version.

Honestly, if you work in a shell a lot, learning vim is a great investment. You’re gonna fly through files editing them faster than with any IDE.

Lockfile contains exact state of the npm-managed code, making it reproducible exactly the same every time.

For example without lockfile in your package.json you can have version 5.2.x. In your working directory, you use 5.2.1, however on repo, 5.2.2 has appeared, matching your criteria. Now let’s say a new bug appeared in 5.2.2.

Now you have mismatched vendor code, that can make your code behave differently on your machine, and your coworker’s machine, making you hunt for bug that wasn’t even on your side.

Lockfile prevents that by saving an actual state of vendor code.

Not only OS - written using 3D APIs closed source available only for your OS.
